A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

This is the way.

TELSEY begins tracking price increases over the past week. Some highlights: * Abercrombie jeans: up 33% * Amazon Echo: up 38.5% * Target / Barbie doll: up 42.9%

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

SHE’S NOT PLAYING

Another raid that will end with illegal actions taken by law enforcement and Justice Department to not follow Due Process! How do we know they're all illegal. They could be just saying that and some are actual U.S. Citizens. Hasn't stopped them before! www.npr.org/2025/04/27/n...

Proposals for increased involuntary commitment share a common function: expanding the state’s power to surveil, detain & 'treat' marginalized people deemed disruptive or deviant. Most impacted would be disabled, unhoused, racialized & LGBTQIA+ people. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Still growing in numbers! Way to go, everyone! Thank you to all involved keep making good trouble!

An executive order will convert 50,000 government employees into de facto political appointees who serve only at the president’s pleasure, Robert P. Beschel Jr. writes:

Frost: And if you're here and you voted for trump in the past, my message is simple. I'm sorry you were lied to, but welcome to the team.

The true recipients.

Ladies!!!

HINT: TAYLOR FOODS OF CALIFORNIA....

We can’t count on the media to save us—but it’s downright depressing how little coverage Trump’s attacks on ActBlue are getting. He’s trying to kneecap our ability to raise the money we need to win the midterms. It’s outrageous.

At the risk of seeming petty, why on Earth do beautiful women spend a fortune to make themselves look hideous? Does anyone actually think this is an improvement? Or that the new "Mar-a-Lago look" is actually attractive and something to emulate? I just don't get it at all.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove from the country, for the time being, any of the individuals slated for possible deportation to El Salvador. The vote is apparently 7-2, with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent

Arizona's governor vetoes bill requiring local officials to help with federal immigration efforts.

Disregard the title: if you listen to nothing else today listen to Jeffrey Sechs explains how Trump blames his lenders for his debt! 🏆🏆🏆

Meals on Wheels update! Today was Pineapple and Ham day. Which is… sticky. We are adjusting to how much longer it takes now to get all the meals out, and for packing. It’s snowing, so it wasn’t too hot in the kitchen! We packed 753 meals, 154 special meals, 584 frozen meals for the weekend.

Judge Wilkinson's opinion for a 3-0 panel in the Abrego Garcia case is written for the parties, but also for the public & perhaps a nod at SCOTUS. I go through it in this piece, which I think provides a much-needed boost for all of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-fourth-c...

@warren.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @maddow.msnbc.com This must be stopped!

NEW reporting from the NYT: “A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.” In a deeply disturbing social media post, President Bukele then…

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Today is Economic Blackout day. No big chains. No Amazon. If you need to shop, then shop local.

“Helping ensure our country is viewed as a force not to be reckoned with.”

What ‘should be’ done?! 👇 Whatcha thinkin’?! 🤔

Julius Caesar reigned for 5 years before his political allies stabbed him in the back. Trump lasted 3 months.

NEW: I've read a lot of court documents in my time, but this is one of my new favorites. How a Judge tells a President to F**k Off. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today. I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

An auspicious anniversary is upon us... www.letfreedomring.live

JUST A FACT…👇

•••IMPORTANT UPDATE••• The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Gerry Connolly, is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following NPR’s bombshell reporting on the sensitive data DOGE has allegedly been manipulating and stealing…

SCOTUS enabled a monster…👇 WHO AGREES?! 🤚

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

H5N1 outbreaks are growing. I’ve alerted WHO and WHAIS. We need urgent testing, transparency, and global awareness. Follow for quick updates your voice matters.

Good Morning, Bluesky! This is your morning reminder is that if your defense for a unregulated 2nd Amendment is for in the event you need to overthrow a corrupt government, now is your time to put up or shut up. Because if you aren’t going to revolt against fascism, you won’t revolt to anything!

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
